O0O Is Forfeitable Council May Pass Matter Up to Executive Board for Action. Preliminary step. , will be taken this week by the city authorities to enforce the collection of a bond for J100.000 from the t'nlted Railway. Company. This bond was glx-en by the railroad company to in sure the construction of electric railway lines between Portland. Salem and Hllls boro. Falling to construct one of the roads and not having; completed the other, the company has been declared delinquent by the City Council, which, on the ad vice of City Attorney Kavanaugh, will un dertake to collect on the bond.- Followlns the failure of the United Rail ways to live up to the conditions Imposed under the bond, the instrument was re ferred to Mr. Kavanaugh for an opinion. That official held the instrument-was col lecttble. It now appears to devolve on the ame official to advise the members of the Council whose duty It Is to undertake the collection and In what manner to pro ceed. Some of the members of the Coun cil contend that the task of realizing on the bond Is an executive and not a legis lative duty and for that reason It Is up to Mayor Lane and the Executive Board to get the money. It Is the opinion of the Mayor and the members of the Executive Board that the responsibility rests with the Council which carried on the negotia tions with the Vnlted Railways and ac cepted the bond which has been declared forfeited. The controversy as to which department of the city government should make the collection will in no way interfere with the determination of the city to collect the J10O.00O from the railway corporation. The subject this week will be referred to Mr. Kavanaugh. who will be asked to say whether l Council or the Mayor and the Executive Board should, institute the nec essary action to collect the bond. Undoubtedly litigation will have to b resorted to if the city gets the money to which It considers it Is entitled. The pres ent backers of the United Railways, as a defense, are contending that since the bond was given, the corporation has passed through the hands of a number of different owners, while its attempted ef forts to comply with the conditions of the bond, all being In good fajth, have been hampered by unfriendly interests. They deny that there has been any wilful In tent on their part to evade any of the responsibilities their predecessors assumed and declare that any attempt to force the collection of a bond that has b?en de clared forfeited on technical grounds would seriously embarrass the corporation in its construction of an. electric line to Hillsboro. The building of this road is now in active operation. PERSONAL MENTION. v J. E. S. McCandless, a wealthy sheep raiser of Honolulu, Is registered at the Portland. Mr. and Mrs. H. C. H.

GAR GANG ARRESTED Nine Hoodlums Captured on Mount Scott Line. HAD LONG BEEN NUISANCE Youths Who Had Frequently In sulted Women and Otherwise Made Themselves Obnoxious, Taken by Sheriff's Deputies. Nine young hoodlums, who for mora than a month have been making them selves obnoxious late Saturday nights to passengers on outward-bound Mount Scott cars, even going to the extent of sitting in the laps of women passengers and at tempting to force them to drink whisky and beer, were arrested early yesterday morning and brought to Portland on a special car. They were then locked up in the County Jail, but were later released without bail. The youths were booked on a charge of disturbing the peace, and their release without bail was decided upon after con sultation with Sheriff Stevens. The nine will appear before Justice of the Peace Bell this morning to answer for their con duct. The members of the gang are as follows: Fred Krausse, of Nashville; Guy Hildreth, Nashville; M. V. Lockwood, Tre mont; A. L. Lake, Laurelwood: C. Larln, Arleta; Archie Mays, Arleta; C. E. Cle ments. Millard-Avenue Station: John J. Boland. Lents and H. J. Huffman, Arleta. , Nine Deputies on Car. To capture the boisterous gang, nine Deputy Sheriffs were detailed to board the last two-car train leaving Portland for Lents at 12:30 -o'clock. General Superin tendent Fields, of the Portland Railway, Light & Power Company, made a request for a number of deputies. He said the police had been detailed on the case Au gust 1, but that, on account of their uni forms, the hoodlums had been careful of their conduct on that night. On the Sat urday night following they had renewed their obnoxious behavior. Last Saturday night Deputy Sheriff Martin boarded the trailer at Alder ,tm rvimitv Sheriff Sweenev at Sal mon and First streets, and Deputy Sher iff Boyer at Madison and First streets. When the car reached East Twenty-ninth street Deputy Sheriffs Beatty. Hunter, Lillls and Schulpieus stepped aboard. Be sides these. Deputies Leonard and Con stable assisted in the round-up. By the time the train reached Clark Sta tion the hilarity of the youths had reached a high pitch. The yelling could be heard for blocks. Whisky and beer flowed free ly. As there were but few passengers on the trailer, and none of the gentler sex, the hoodlums had things their own way until the train stopped at Clark Station, when nine deputies took the entire gang in hand. They were held for the arrival of a special car, sent to Portland from the Milwaukie-carbarn. Made Trouble for Months. "We have had trouble with these hood lums for two or three months." said Su perintendent Fields last night. 'They have been in the habit of taking the last car out on Saturday nights, drinking whis ky and swearing. The train crew was entirely unable to handle them. Matters went to such a point about two months ago, that they had a pitched battle, in which the conductor tried to put them off, and was assisted by the motorman. The car crew was unable to handle the row dies and received some severe bruises. "On one occasion the young fellows sat in the laps of some of the women passen gers, otherwise insulting them, and at tempting to pour liquor down their throats. When the women tried to defend themselves and the conductor attempted to Interfere, the hoodlums told him to mind his own business and continued their shameful conduct. From previous experi ences he knew that it was useless to in terfere. "We have also had a great deal of trouble with the block lights on this divi sion. In several Instances the glass was broken. Of course we do not know whether this is the gang that did It, but such things are a source of danger to the trains. "It is but a short time since a railroad tie, laid across the track, nearly caused a wreck. As It was. the motorman saw the obstruction in time to stop the car before it had gone farther than to wedge the tie under the pilot." Not the least Interesting of the happen ings In connection with the arrest was the appeal of Fred Krausse to Deputy Sheriff Boyer to let his friend Hildreth off. Krausse offered to take the punishment for both' himself and his young friend if the latter might be let off. Krausse's father Is a partner In the wholesale boot and shoe firm of Krausse Brothers. F. H. Herrick and N. A. Cornett are conductor and motorman, respectively, on the car on which the arrests took place. Oregon People at Chicago 'Hotels. CHICAGO, Aug. 16. (Special.)
